Despite Economy Still Hope for Veterans

“BREAKING! This just in: the economy is terrible and the country is suffering its worst jobs crisis since the Depression… developing… Of course, this isn’t actually breaking news, it is aching news.” So went the comments of Arianna Huffington on April 17th when asked her thoughts on the economy.

The ADP National Employment Report shows the private sector added 119,000 jobs in April, falling short of estimates of an increase of 150,000 jobs but up from the 88,000 new jobs produced in March. Despite the increase, the situation is looking bleak for the long-term unemployed.

And close to 30% of our Veterans in their twenties fall into that long-term unemployed category.

But there is hope – anchored not in false promises but in outcomes.

VetJobs is pleased to announce the first of two 2013 online Job Fairs hosted in conjunction with PSI, the premier Diversity Job Fair producer.

If you are a Veteran looking for work – or a family member – mark your calendar and update your resume. The supporting employers are hiring NOW.
